Backup continues upon closing laptop lid?

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I would like to install True Image Home 2012 on my wife's laptop. Currently her laptop goes to sleep/hibernate mode when the lid is closed. Will a TIH 2012 backup continue its job when the lid is closed? Or, will it pause until she opens and logs back in? Or, will it crash the program and need to start again?

Thanks,

I don't know your answers but this could be solution depending upon your needs.

Click first line of signature below and locate index item 3-KK which is a pdf download.

What the pdf does is to use show you how to create a power modification which is used as an "Acronis pre/post pre command to create a special power setting during the TrueImage backup so the computer won't sleep and when the backup is complete, an Acronis post command reverts the power settings back to normal.

The setting used during the backup will keep the backup going when lid is closed or goes into battery, etc as you can see by the examples in the pdf. My example has the computer shutting down after backup but this batch line could be modified to put the computer into hibernation or standby.
